Like most of my best ideas, they usually come to me in the middle of the night deep in a cheese dream. With a habit of cooking big ideas around DIY budgets, I knew we had to find a clever way to get the heat into a video.
With that in mind, we’ve come to this miserable chili-eating competition. Director Ben took that initial idea and worked with it and I think together we’ve realized one of my best videos to date.”

“The song is about choosing to fight back and being up to the challenge, letting the world know you’re not about to fall apart — it’s trick and a little twisty. Just like this video.”
The track is a brassy, garage-infused tune reminiscent of Sweet Female Attitude or T2, FEMME comments, “‘Fire With Fire’ is about taking a challenge and choosing to fight. It celebrates adapting to your fears, staring straight into a barrel and telling the world you’re not about to go broke” .

“Fire With Fire” sees FEMME return to her indie and electro roots and denotes a pop star who has embraced all aspects of her talent and is in complete control. “I keep pushing myself to go somewhere new,” she explains.
“My writing process is to start with a beat, program a bass line… My production is so intertwined with my writing process, I wouldn’t be able to do it in that driver’s seat. It’s just that I’m flexing my muscles in a different direction.”
